    1965 Coronet rear drivers wheel hot to touch after drive

    Looking at the pics, it doesn't appear the brakes are dragging to create the overheating. That leaves the bearings, and axles. I know bearing adjustment has been mentioned, so again check that. But you also said No Drag when rotating. I would think, with the overheating, you would start to see...

    Not sure what you meen by circlip ? The shock, with lower washer, and bushing, are pushed through the mounting hole, from the underside, and bushing, washer, and nut assembled under the hood, on the inner fender well location.

    Quick Bilstein Question . . .

    The right washer, with the recess, goes on first, over the shock stud, then a rubber bushing. Install the shock from underneath, attach to control arm, place the remaining bushing, washer and nut, on stud, under hood. Compress the bushing when tightening, enough to hold in place, but do NOT...
